If there are signs you should test, you should probably move out of your house immediately.


But no, radon isn't something that is obvious without performing some sort of measurement, which is why I ordered the kit in the first place. It's stupidly easy. They send you a box that contains this little puck sealed in a bag of air, a registration key, and a return shipping label. Register the puck on the site, give them some details about your home, and then you can mount the puck somewhere in your home. They say that you should pick a spot where you spend a good deal of your time, not necessarily the majority of it, but a significant portion. For us, that was the basement, hanging from the ceiling. For homes with unfinished basements, that's usually the main floor, so you have to decide. Keep the box and the return label somewhere safe that it won't get thrown away.


Ninety days after you started the test, you can put the puck in the box, seal it up and slap the return label on it, and drop it into any Canada Post box. They e-mail you the reports in 2-3 weeks, and explain what they mean and where you home falls relative to the thresholds set by the W.H.O., Canadian government, etc.
